Municipality of Perušić - Inscribed stone
This epigraphic monument originates from the period around 1st century BC and can be found near the settlement of Kosinjski Bakovac, in the forest of Begovača, next to the water source of Begovača. There is an inscription on a stone written in Latin, which settles down a dispute between two Iapodian tribes, the Ortoplini and the Parentini, that were quarrelling about the water source Begovača, where they fed their cattle.
The following text is inscribed on the stone:
“EX CONVENTIONE FINIS INTER ORTHOPLINOS ET PARENTINOS ADITUS AD AQUAM VIVAM ORTHOPLINIS D PASSUS LATUS.”
The translation by NP Velebit:
“Pursuant to the border agreement between the Ortoplini and the Parentini, the Ortoplini are granted access to live water five hundred steps wide.”

Cetin fortress
The town of Cetin was once a strong fortress surrounded by double eighteen meter high defensive walls, towers and observation posts. The solid walls survived the collapse of the Roman state and then withstood the ravages of time and for many centuries, especially during the centuries-old Croatian-Turkish wars when Cetin was an important military-strategic point and defensive fortress.
The most historically and politically significant event that took place in Cetin was the famous Cetin Parliament on 31 December 1526 and 1 January 1527. This great assembly of the Croatian nobility, held according to the old Croatian customs of assembly, determined the future of the Kingdom of Croatia for the next centuries, thus entering Cetin not only into Croatian, but also into wider European history.
The Cetingrad Charter, signed on that occasion by the most famous Croatian nobles and representatives of Ferdinand of Habsburg, is one of the most important documents of Croatian statehood and is stored in the Austrian State Archives in Vienna.
